Hi All,
First you need a blank easyfile backup file. It's too large to attach here but email me at bandre@mweb.co.za and I will gladly send it to you.
Also make sure you have winzip on your system.

Then proceed as follows:

[I]Your database is corrupted. Please make a backup of your e@syFile. “Utilities-Database utilities-Backup DB Directory” and save it onto the desktop. Restore the e@syFile backup that I have attached onto the email on your e@syFile. It is a blank e@syFile.

Now go to your backup that you saved onto the desktop-unzip it-extract the PAYE number file and the “Key” and “Text” file. You will then log into e@syFile using “ADMIN” and then “P@ssword1” as the password. Then go to “Utilities-merge db-merge the PAYE number file”. E@syFile will ask you for login name and password when you merge-use the Departments login details to initiate merge. The error on the form will go away after the merge.

If you have any problems, let me know and I will be glad to help.

Thanks again Godfrey for your help.
